Since everyone enjoyed a peek at a dog last week, I thought I’d give some insight into Chloe’s relationship with her cats.
I give each cat a kiss on the head. Enoki doesn’t mind, but Sashi tries to duck in protest. “Yeah, yeah, yeah, Sashi, I know you hate it when I kiss you on the head.” I laugh as I succeed in trapping her head long enough for a quick kiss. She shoots me her annoyed look and gives me a decidedly perturbed meow as she breaks free, but she’s also purring, so I know she’s not really upset. “I love you, too, Sashi.” She tries to feign indifference but her motor’s still running, so I know better. I let her keep her pride, though.

I love this excerpt, and I especially like the end where you let him keep his pride.

I love cats so really enjoyed the snippet…and as Elaine said, nice you let the cat keep his dignity and pride.

Sashi is an independent girl, isn’t she? Cats can be so…almost human at times. Nice eight, Katya!

Kate, just what I was going to say. Cats are so much like people.
Good job getting that across.

Enjoyed this and last week’s snippet as well. You obviously understand dogs and cats very well. 🙂
